FFFC

Okay, let's do this.

I'll start. I had a medium to medium rare steak and sushi this week and they were amazing.

I opted out of getting the flu shot. *gasp!*

I'm supposed to be following the GD diet even though I haven't been dx with it yet this pregnancy, but for DD1's birthday we went to Texas Roadhouse and I endulged in fried pickles, bread and cinnamon butter and mashed potatoes.

I have zero desire to help plan my sister's wedding, and it's all because her fiance's sisters are acting as if it's their own. They both have multiple Pinterest boards for a wedding that isn't theirs. Wtf. I feel so bad, b/c I'd like to be more excited about my little sister's wedding, but I'm dreading allllllllll of it. Including getting together with fiance's older sister this weekend for lunch. To discuss decorating ideas for the engagement party. An entire lunch. Dedicated to decorations for an engagement party. Aren't restaurants already decorated? I'm playing nice b/c I love my sister, but holy hell do I already resent his.

I made my mom and husband go eat there the other day just because I was craving the bread. And then I might've eaten like 5 or 6 rolls. So good. If you're going to go off your diet, it might as well be for their bread.

I'm thinking of having a morning sickness flare up on Sunday, so I don't have to visit the ILs. Sorry, but it's just a chore. DH hasn't got a great relationship with his dad or stepmother, so it's just awkward when we visit. We told them we were expecting when we were 7wks and they said "let us know if you need anything!". Since then we've heard squat from them and i'm 15wks on Sunday. They live a 1hr drive away and are both retired, yet their son and daughter in law who are expecting their first child are too far away for them to bother visiting. We have to dish out the petrol money to go visit them instead. Yes, I think my morning sickness might come back with a vengeance on Sunday.

Why?

We've had two friends end up with Guillain-Barre Syndrome this year as a result of getting the flu shot. It's a rare occurrence, but out one friend is still blind and partially paralyzed from it. Doctors aren't sure if he will have a full recovery. There's not much they can do. It just scares me, and hits a little too close to home with have two friends with such a rare complication.

Plus, I have never had the flu. I have a pretty strong immune system. I rarely ever get sick. And I work from home. I don't really interact with many people physically unless I go shopping or out with one or two clients.

I was tired of looking for a decent parking spot at Schnucks, so I took the "expectant mother" spot, tried to poof my belly out a little bigger than what it already is and did a preggo waddle into the store.

In my defense, I AM an expectant mother, but people might look at me and question it. Plus I only needed a small handful of things, so I didn't take it up too long.

ETA: I'm also not getting a flu shot. My doctor isn't "making" me get one and aside from when I was working in daycare, I've never gotten the flu. *knocking on every wood surface in my office*

MommyDay2be

@katemr1146 also am not getting a flu shot. I never have and I have never gotten the flu so..

My FFFC is that Wednesday ALL I could think about was Jim beam and coke! Lol I wanted one soo bad! I abstained of course but the desire was strong!

Interesting. According to my doctor, it is in some way related. She even handed me a form I'd have to sign stating I'm aware of the Guillain-Barre risk, if we did want to get the shot. My friend Steve, the one who's currently blind, was actually diagnosed with Miller Fisher, my husband is telling me.
I guess it's a variant of Guillain-Barre.

Either way. I'm not doing it. It's just a choice my husband and I have made and feel is what's best for us. My doctor was 100% behind us with that decision.

I want to strangle my kid today. The end.

Are we really doing the flu shot thing again? (:|

No food FFFC and for the love of all things, no more flu shot conversations!

New material people!

I am also skipping the flu shot. I can finally keep food down and every time I get the flu shot I am horribly sick for days. Not gonna do it! Especially when DH is gone for 5-6 days at a time and only home for one or two and I am the sole caretaker for DS. He got his shot and did not have a reaction so he will get his every year but I will pass. I'm also a SAHM that doesn't go out.

I am dog sitting my friends puggle for the weekend, we are exchanging dog sitting. However I want to drop kick this dog some times. He's super annoying and on top of that he puked on my floor this morning.... Now he's looking all pitiful at me, I have an ounce of sympathy for him but I hate dog puke on top of being pukey myself

candrew05

I bribe my 15 month old nephew with Hooplakidz on my iPhone every time I want him to snuggle with me.

I've been using pregnancy as a trump card way more than I should. For shame. 

Example: A friend has a cabin and invited more people than he has bedrooms next weekend. I figuratively stamped my feet and said we needed a bed because I am pregnant and have back pain. I really don't. 

blazinangel1702

Hubby wants to have a bonfire tonight and I realized yesterday that while I enjoy them, it's because our kids go to bed and I can converse with adults for awhile....tonight our friends are coming and bringing their 3 kids who are wild and don't settle down...so I'm already dreading tonight. And I already told hubby I needed to nap all afternoon if he expected me to stay awake late tonight.

Katemr1146

I find it super annoying when people try to control conversations and tell other people what they can and can't talk about. If you aren't interested...don't read it.
Don't be a jerk.

Mine is along these lines too.  He's being REALLY bad and I'm so tired and irritated.  Last night I let him cry in his room while I closed my door and completely tuned him out, listened to lo's HB and then took a nice quiet shower.  DH was with him, but I still felt guilty because all he wanted was mommy.  And he only wants me so he can torture me.

Dear God, I hope no one ever asks me to be in a wedding again.  It is always a nightmare.

I'm sorry you're going through this, but this really made me laugh. Mainly because I know the feeling all too well.

I went on Amazon and bought all of my kid's Christmas presents yesterday. The flameful part is that I haven't told MH and I'm already way over budget. Hoping he doesn't look at the bank account. I also know he's going to want to buy some stuff for our son too and I'm going to tell him "no, we already hit our max."

I cringe when I hear people call their kids bad.  Something about calling kids that word I just can't handle.

My son is SUCH a mommys boy. DH always says "I hope for your sake that this one likes me more, otherwise you will never get a moments peace!" He's soo right.

Yes.  I used to call myself bad when I was younger, and my mom always corrected me saying that no kids are bad.  Can they be ornery and have difficult behavior at times, absolutely.  I'm not judging anyone else for using the word, because I'm sure it's just from my experiences, but I do cringe inside.

Weak I know but I have zero motivation to do anything today and I'm probably going to just do the bare minimum since my supervisor is gone today and it's just me and another girl. Also my DS has been driving me nuts in the mornings lately. All of a sudden everything is a fight and he has to whine about everything, particularly that Bubble Guppies isn't on. Seriously? And then of an evening when I'm super exhausted he only wants me to do everything for him. Such a mommy's boy but at least he has been giving me random kisses again lately. He had quit for a while and it made me sad

To prepare for becoming a single income family when the baby arrives, my husband and I have tightened our budget considerably and have a very limited amount of "fun money." 

Except, we haven't actually tightened our budget. We're taking a trip to fucking Disney World this weekend! That shit is expensive! We are in for a rude awakening when the baby gets here and we are for real broke...

That reminds me of my laundry related confession. I've just not been wearing underwear the last few days because I was out of clean pairs and I'm lazy (I work from home, so NBD). My husband counted before he did laundry last night and he washed 35 pairs of underwear for me. So.... that's how long it's been since I've washed anything.

I wake up every morning excited to see my dd, but dread the sound of nick jr lol. Her new phrase happens to be bubble guppie, it's all we ever hear!

I had to sit through an interview dinner for new interns last night. The good part was we were interviewing them not the other way around. People trying to impress us so we will choose them usually isn't bad but with no alcohol I was bored. Now we are going out tonight to finish up with the more social part. At a bar! I don't really know if I wanna go. Last time we went out with the residents we got totally shit faced so they were tolerable but I think I may make up a reason to stay home
